The Five Boroughs

New York City is made up of five boroughs: the Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens and Staten Island. Each one has enough attractions—and enough personality—to be a city all its own. Learn more about them with this guide.

The restaurant isn"t much bigger than a subway car--which is appropriate, given that it"s named after the A train. The tiny place quickly fills up with alluring aromas--and patrons. The refined, all-organic menu makes stops in Europe, Africa and Latin America, with dishes like mango-marinated duck confit; sautéed summer squash with white beans in a creamy coconut sauce; and quail pâté topped with Brie and drizzled with truffle rum. The MTA should take note of the startlingly reasonable prices: This place actually deserves a fare hike.
